Every single origin on our menu is traceable to the farm, roasted to order at our Medford, NJ cafe, and shipped the same day. Six countries. Six distinct flavor profiles. All specialty grade.
The term matters — and it changes what ends up in your cup.
Single origin coffee comes from one identifiable source — a specific farm, estate, cooperative, or region. Every bag is traceable. You know the country, the growing region, the altitude, and often the processing method. That traceability is what makes single origin coffee distinct from commercial blends, which combine beans from multiple countries specifically to obscure their origin and maintain consistent (and often mediocre) flavor year to year.
Terroir matters in coffee the same way it does in wine. Altitude, soil composition, rainfall, temperature variation, and varietal all shape flavor. An Ethiopian Yirgacheffe grown at 2,000 meters tastes fundamentally different from a Sumatra Mandheling grown at 1,200 meters — not just in intensity, but in character: floral and fruit-forward vs. earthy and chocolate-heavy. Single origin lets you taste that difference directly.
We carry six single origins year-round, sourced from farms and cooperatives in Ethiopia, Kenya, Colombia, Costa Rica, Guatemala, and Sumatra. Each is roasted on its own profile to highlight what makes it distinct — not roasted identically to force them into a house style. When you try our Ethiopia next to our Sumatra, you’re tasting two entirely different places.
Fresh roasted, consistently available, and traceable to the source.
Blueberry, jasmine, lemon brightness
Ethiopian Yirgacheffe is the benchmark single origin for light roast lovers. Grown at extreme altitude in southern Ethiopia, it produces a clean, floral, fruit-forward cup unlike anything from other origins. The washed processing highlights every nuance of the terroir.
Shop nowBlackcurrant, tomato, wine-like brightness
Kenya AA is graded for large bean size — and the quality to match. The Kenya washed method (double fermentation) produces a wine-like complexity and bold blackcurrant character that seasoned specialty coffee drinkers seek out specifically.
Shop nowMilk chocolate, caramel, smooth finish
Colombia Supremo is the ideal starting point for single-origin coffee. Grown in the high Andes, it produces a balanced, approachable cup with chocolate and caramel sweetness and low acidity. Works in every brewing method — drip, pour-over, espresso, or French press.
Shop nowHoney, red apple, clean finish
Costa Rica Tarrazú is one of the most consistent single origins on our menu. The Tarrazú region's volcanic soil and high altitude produce a bright, clean cup with honey sweetness and stone fruit notes. A reliable favorite for daily drinkers.
Shop nowBrown sugar, dark chocolate, light citrus
Guatemalan Antigua grows in the shadow of three volcanoes, and the mineral-rich soil shows in the cup. A medium-dark roast develops its natural brown sugar sweetness and chocolate depth — complex enough to drink black, forgiving enough to take with milk.
Shop nowDark chocolate, earthy, full body, low acidity
Sumatra is unlike any other single origin. The wet-hull processing creates a uniquely heavy, earthy, low-acid profile that concentrates into espresso and cold brew better than almost any other coffee. The boldest cup on our menu.
Shop nowThree factors that explain the flavor diversity across our menu.
Coffees grown at higher altitudes ripen more slowly, which concentrates sugars and develops complexity. Ethiopian coffees grown at 2,000m taste completely different from Indonesian coffees grown at 1,000m — because they are completely different environments.
Washed processing (removing fruit before drying) produces clean, bright, acidic coffee. Natural processing (drying fruit-on) produces heavier, sweeter, more fruit-forward coffee. Wet-hulled processing (Sumatra) produces the earthy, full-body character Sumatra is known for.
Heirloom Ethiopian varieties produce entirely different flavor compounds than Colombian Castillo or Kenyan SL28. The genetic diversity across coffee-growing regions is one of the primary reasons single origin tastes so varied — the same altitude and processing method can produce wildly different results with a different varietal.
Single origin coffee comes from one specific farm, region, or country — every bag is traceable and has a defined flavor profile tied to where it was grown. A blend combines beans from multiple origins to create a consistent, balanced flavor that doesn't vary seasonally. Single origins are more expressive and interesting; blends are more predictable. Most specialty coffee drinkers keep both on hand.
Colombia Supremo is our smoothest single origin — medium roast, low acidity, chocolate and caramel notes, easy to drink black or with milk. Costa Rica Tarrazú is a close second for a clean, mild profile. If you want the boldest and heaviest body with very low acidity, go with Sumatra Mandheling.
Most of our lineup is single origin — six countries, six distinct flavor profiles. We also offer a small number of house blends for customers who prefer a balanced, consistent cup. All of our coffee, single-origin or blended, is specialty grade and roasted fresh to order.
It means we know exactly where the coffee came from — the region, the farm or cooperative, the altitude, and the processing method. This traceability is part of what defines specialty coffee. It allows roasters to build relationships with producers and source consistently high-quality lots year after year.
